Publisher Description

It’s the moment every attorney fears most…one careless moment that threatens careers, reputations, lives. For Nina Reilly, it will change everything—and ignite a case where her own clients are witnesses against her…and where the defendant is Nina herself.

As an attorney championing desperate people, Nina Reilly has skirted the edges of legal ethics in pursuit of a just result, but she has never before broken the rule of absolute protection of her clients’ secrets. One September night in Lake Tahoe when her unlocked truck is stolen, her life changes forever. Gone are her most sensitive case files, complete with the sometimes brutally candid notes she took while interviewing her clients.

It’s every attorney’s nightmare. And now the worst has happened: The secrets are being revealed, one by one, in ways that will cause the greatest harm. Nina’s own clients complain to the State Bar of California, and suddenly Nina is fighting for her license and her livelihood in a legal proceeding that may ultimately lead her to disbarment. In desperation, Nina turns to her ex-husband, celebrated San Francisco lawyer Jack McIntyre, to represent her.

And as personal tensions erupt between McIntyre and Nina’s sometime boyfriend, private investigator Paul van Wagoner…as reputations are ruined and people begin to die…a chilling pattern of rage and revenge comes into focus. Someone is bent on destroying the lives of Nina’s clients and, in the process, Nina Reilly.

"Took a bit of time to read the book...so got attached to the characters. The ending could have been better after all the nerve racking. Still a very good read!"

    " I'm not saying this is my favorite Nina Reilly novel but it definitely fills in the blanks on a few others that I have read. I hope she makes it back to Tahoe otherwise this series will lose the "i-kinda-want-to-live-here" award. "

    " i liked this book, although it wasn't as good as 'invasion of privacy'. the problem is that i buy the nina reilly books by what sounds good and what they happen to have in the second-hand bookstore, not according to the order they're in, so it gets confusing at some points. "

    " This is the only one of this series I've read. Maybe that's why I didn't love the characters. I felt like the "mystery" was kind of lame and the motivations of the "bad guys" were a bit ridiculous. The end felt rushed, too. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " I enjoy this series featuring Nina Reilly, however this is not the best of the series. It is a very good set up and puts Nina on the defensive, trying to save her career in addition to her clients, but it just doesn't keep the tension going. "

    " I wanted to feel the setting of Lake Tahoe, but the writing is pedestrian. it's a very average mystery novel, and the author doesn't really evoke the place. Lake Tahoe is just a name, it could be anywhere. "

    " I may be naive, but I couldn't buy in to the complete disregard for Nina as a victim (someone stole her key, stole her car) which set up the whole chain of events. Tried twice and just couldn't finish. "
